It was March, and the weather was getting warmer.
Before leaving the capital, Tang Feng had already ordered the barbarians of the East Chamber to rush to Liaodong in advance. At the same time, the Jinyiwei also took action.
Tang Feng was patrolling the north in place of the emperor. He held the imperial sword and controlled all the armies and government agencies in the north, including the Jinyiwei.
As someone from the later generation, Tang Feng naturally understood the importance of information.
Thus, before he left the capital, the spies of the East Chamber and the Jinyiwei had already spread out in Liaodong. Even the spies on the roads from the capital to Liaodong had become active.
In history, after Xiong Tingbi lost Liaoyang and Shenyang, he did not act out of desperation and was eventually escorted back to the capital.
However, history always had uncertainties, especially after the appearance of this variable. Only the heavens knew if history would change.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
The weight of these two identities had already surpassed that of the imperial envoy. In addition to his imperial sword, he was really below one person and above ten thousand people.
There were about 50 Dragon Guards, 200 fully-armed Imperial Army soldiers, and hundreds of foreigners from the East Chamber.
This ferocious troop left the capital and headed north along the pipeline.
Dressed in red, Zhao Lingfei rode beside Tang Feng. She looked a little excited.
On the other hand, Ren Yingying, who was beside him, did not say a word. However, because she was wearing a gauze hat, others could not see her expression.
Whether it was Zhao Lingfei or Ren Yingying, they were both martial artists. Riding a horse for a long journey was nothing to them.
It was also because of this that Tang Feng decided to bring them to Liaodong.
"Master, we're going to Tianjin Wei next, right?”Zhao Lingfei turned to Tang Feng and asked.
"Why? Do you have relatives in Tianjin?”Tang Feng asked casually.
"Yes, my fourth uncle settled down in Tianjin.”Zhao Lingfei smiled sweetly and nodded.
She had decided on Tang Feng now. She did not hide anything from Tang Feng.
"What does your fourth uncle do? Is he also from the Sun Moon Sect?" Tang Feng thought for a moment and asked.
"Of course not. My fourth uncle joined the army a few years ago and held a position in the army.”Zhao Lingfei said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Lingfei's words, Tang Feng nodded his head without any comment. He then looked into the distance.
Tianjin Wei was an important military town in the north because it was adjacent to the Yellow River and guarded the Grand Canal.
He had left the capital for Liaodong for Xiong Tingbi, but in reality, he had left for the Three Guards of Tianjin.
Xiong Tingbi's defeat in Liaodong had led to the loss of Liaoyang and Shenyang. The situation in Liaodong had changed greatly, and the three guards of Tianjin had become important.
The importance of the Tianjin Three Guards was that it was adjacent to the Bohai Sea. From here, one could enter Jianzhou in a short period of time.
In addition, this was the transit station of the Grand Canal. Grain and silk produced in the south had to pass through here before they could be transported to the capital or Liaodong.
Controlling the Tianjin Guards was equivalent to seizing the Ming Dynasty's throat. Thus, he was determined to obtain the three Tianjin Guards.
As long as they could take down the Tianjin Guards, they would have a steady stream of money in the future. Moreover, they would have a place to train their troops and build warships.
From the capital to Tianjin, it was only two hundred miles, and they could arrive in a day.
Tang Feng didn't travel at night and stopped at Jinghai County.
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting in the west, a fleet of cars slowly entered the city from the pipeline outside the west gate of Jinghai County.
Among all the carriages, Tang Feng's group was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
There were seven to eight hundred people, all of them riding horses. Moreover, each of them was armed. Anyone who saw them would know that they were not to be trifled with.
Of course, this was only for ordinary people.
The Ming Dynasty was a freak who valued literature over martial arts. The status of a martial artist was lower than any previous dynasty. Usually, a first-grade military officer would have to lower his head when facing a second-grade civil official.
Under such circumstances, how high could the status of a soldier be?
When Tang Feng's team was about to approach the city gate, a team of people galloped over from the pipeline behind them.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way.”A loud and domineering voice came from behind.
Tang Feng turned around and looked at the team. His brows twitched slightly.
There were about a hundred people in this group, and each of them was tall and strong. They either carried bows and arrows on their backs or swords on their backs. In the middle were two young men in luxurious clothes.
When the cars on the pipeline saw this group of people, they all made way for them. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived.
"Are you f * cking deaf? Get lost.”Seeing that Tang Feng and the others did not make way, the few burly men in the lead raised their horsewhips and cursed.
This time, Tang Feng left the capital in a light carriage. He did not use the imperial envoy's honor guard, nor did he use the East Chamber's honor guard. To outsiders, they only thought that they were a long-distance army.
Tang Feng's followers wouldn't give way. The dozens of East Chamber barbarians in the back row turned their horses around and glared at him.
The two young men dressed in luxurious clothes rode up under the escort of a group of guards.
"A bunch of bumpkins, you actually dare to block my path.”The man on the left had a strange smile on his face. He played with the horsewhip in his hand and sneered.
"If you know what's good for you, make way for me.”
When Tang Feng, who was in the middle of the group, heard the young man's words, he could not help but snort coldly. He turned his horse around and walked up.
"Who are you?" Tang Feng asked calmly.
"So, you are the leader of these bandits?”The young man in luxurious clothes tilted his head and looked at Tang Feng as he asked indifferently.
Tang Feng smiled and nodded.
"Take your people and get lost.”The young man in luxurious clothes played with the horsewhip and said in a strange tone.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Tang Feng was also holding a horsewhip in his hand. The young man in luxurious clothes opposite him was swaying and there was a bloody mark on his face.
There was a moment of silence.
